When it comes to theistic philosophy, the burden of proof should only lie with the one making the positive claim of existence.

Have you ever seen a god? Can this god be experienced via any of the five senses. Is there an empirical way of showing this god exists?

The simple answer is no.

Therefore, realizing the god concept is as an imaginative idea as a unicorn should be all too apparent. And that should be the end. No amount of apologetics or philosophizing is going to make god a reality.
